    Interesting idea Cad64. Maybe we'll get a couple of the instructors here looking for advice/help next. LOL

    The bulk of my business is commercial curtainwall, site plans and floor plans. I do occasionally get a bit of tool and die, and the odd house now and again.

    I'd really like to ask Penn Foster some questions, actually. For instance, (if I read the posts correctly) why are the limits for Olsen Village set to an area larger than the western half of the United States? How big do you think this town is gonna get? Somebody does a zoom all, and they really gotta look close to find their drawing. It might light up one pixel! Ash Creek is new to me. I have never taken those courses, but I'd be up for designing them some new ones!

    I'd like to ask them about: layouts, viewports, and annotative scaling for starters. It seems to me the projects have not been updated in some time.

    Mostly do drafting related to manufacturing. From doing site layouts with proposed updates, additions and renovations to be budgeted and submitted for bid, to updating and changing existing drawings to reflect maintenance and repair/revision work done on site.

    From what I have seen of the course, a couple times through the CADTutor tutorials would be much more benificial.

    That is certain, but CT doesn't offer a diploma. Hey, there's an idea....

    Jack has just put on his thinking cap which means we're going for a ride. Grab something sturdy and hold on folks. It's going to be a wild one! Yeeeeeehah!

    I know this thread is almost a year old but as one of these Penn Foster students I would just like to express my appreciation for what you guys are doing here. I do like the professor that I call, but it is difficult for both of us when we can not communicate with diagrams (no forum) and if I email I question, forget about it. Most of the time it is typos in the course material like that Oleson Village project where one tree accidently has coordinates somewhere in the next state, but I guess that is the nature of the beast when you are doing something by correspondence. Regardless of where I go with this (professionally or personally) it's nice to know I can always find ideas and opinions here.

    Well it seems you survived the course none-the-less.

    I think P-F could stand to 1) make improvements, 2) update the course content to reflect additional AutoCAD features and 3) introduce some 3D.
